More about us

Volunteer With Us!

50501 Movement Orange County and the OC Indivisible Coalition are all-volunteer, grassroots partners. We are committed to coalition-building and peaceful protest, and are not affiliated with a political party. To carry us forward in the movement, there are many jobs that need active owners.

  • Chat Admins: We do our planning on the Signal app. Help us set up and moderate our weekly planning chats.
  • Location Scouts: Research and propose locations for protest or activity for a given week.
  • Activity Planners: Adopt a favorite non-protest activity (Really Free Market, social picnic, skills workshop, sign-making, etc) and help make it a success.
  • Mutual Aid Coordinators: Manage our food/essentials drive, coordinate drop-off, recruit & schedule volunteers.
  • AND MORE: Many more volunteer roles are available, no matter your skills or availability!
